Default Less Expensive RBP Big Mouth Grille Alternative

I love the RBP/Big Mouth style grilles but I'm not spending a grand on it (even though it looks f*cking awsome) but just browsng around eBay/Google I found this.

Picked it up for $220 SHIPPED, came in 6 days.
Well the box itself measured 4' 5" X 1' 8 3/4" X 8" I had forgotten how big our grille's are lol. It's actually a very good quality grille, I just had to adjust 2 spots on how flush the mesh was to the shell. Around the inner edge of the shell there are several mounting points for the mesh and this is where I made the adjustment (philips screw with lock nut on the back) just a matter of loosening them and tightening back up once it's positioned where you want it. It's about 38* outside and windy as hell but once it warms back up a little and the wind dies down I'll be painting the shell Matte Black (the gloss stands out too much because everything else is Matte). Also came with all the hardware so no need to re-use the OEM stuff and ALL the holes match up perfectly (instructions are actually really good, I didn't use em because I've removed my grille before lol).
Now onto the pictures :-D

I would say yes its their reputation, but with there's you cut your stock grille but this actually gives youa replacement shell. This place also sells just the mesh so you can do the same for a fraction of the price.
